The Festival of 20th Century Music is a new highlight on the schedule of the Lower Silesia Philharmonic in Jelenia Góra. This series of concerts was launched already in June and continues through this month. A concert on Oct. 3 celebrated the centenary of Sir Andrzej Panufnik with a performance of his Tragic Overture, Piano Concerto and Sinfonia Sacra. Maciej Grzybowski—a pianist known for his excellent interpretations of modern piano repertoire—was the soloist, and the orchestra was led on this occasion by Maestro Tomasz Bugaj.
The last concert in this year’s series is planned for November 7. Again, Maestro Bugaj will lead the orchestra and violin soloists Roman Lasocki and Gabriela Michalak. The all-Polish program includes Wojciech Kilar – Orawa, Grażyna Bacewicz – Violin Concerto No.3, Karol Szymanowski – Violin Concerto No.2 (cadence by Marcin Błażewicz), and Witold Lutosławski – Mała Suita.
